Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Broadening the addressable market by targeting the insulin-intensive Type 2 diabetes population. This includes enrolling the first participant in the EVOLVE pivotal study to support a 510(k) filing for a fully closed-loop AID system designed specifically for Type 2 diabetes.
Expected impact: Aims to capture a dominant share of the underpenetrated Type 2 diabetes market, which represents millions of potential users globally.
Developing and launching the next-generation Omnipod 6 system, which features a more responsive and powerful algorithm designed to increase 'time in tight range' and reduce the burden of manual boluses.
Expected impact: Maintains Insulet's competitive moat and leadership in the automated insulin delivery (AID) market.
Expanding the global manufacturing footprint to support accelerating growth, including scaling production at the Malaysia facility, increasing capacity in Acton, Massachusetts, and advancing plans for a new facility in Costa Rica.
Expected impact: Ensures a highly automated, scalable, and resilient supply chain to meet growing global demand for Omnipod products.
